Low-Maintenance Elegance: Caring for Your Staghorn Fern

The Staghorn Fern is a visual delight, and luckily, it doesn’t require too much to thrive! Bright, indirect light is its best friend, but it can tolerate some shade, making it versatile for different areas of your home. Keep the growing medium or plank moist by soaking it in water about once a week. High humidity is preferred, but it can adapt to moderate levels. With occasional feeding and a little love, your fern will flourish, turning any space into a lush, green oasis.

Please note: Solid wood plaque size varies from 8-12" long and wide.

Fun Fern Fact: Your Fern is a True Epiphyte!

Unlike most houseplants, the Staghorn Fern doesn’t grow in soil. Instead, it’s an epiphyte, which means it naturally grows on other plants or surfaces in the wild. Mounted on wood mimics its natural habitat, where it would attach to trees in tropical forests!

A Fern With History: Origins in Asia & Australia

The Staghorn Fern hails from the tropical rainforests of Asia and Australia, where it thrives in the high canopies of trees. Its distinctive fronds mimic the antlers of a stag, giving it both its common name and its unique, sculptural look. Used in homes for generations, it’s a beloved choice for those wanting to bring an exotic, natural touch indoors.
